Custom Furniture on the Move

If you’re a fan of CustomMade, it’s very likely custom furniture moves you.  Now have a look at some of the whimsical furniture captured in motion – walking, dancing, and crawling – that CEO and co-founder Mike Salguero features in his Stylelist Home blog from 5/3/12.  Be sure to follow him on Stylelist as he continues to spread the custom word.

Children love seeing everyday objects magically come to life in films like Fantasia and Beauty and the Beast, but have you ever seen custom furniture that could move itself?

"Unspecified Figures" by Randy Weersing Furniture Designs at CustomMade.com

This busy fellow, one in a series of “Unspecified Figures” created by Randy Weersing Furniture Designs in collaboration with Tim Neun Fine Furniture and sculptor Michael Randles, would certainly nod and greet you if he could remember where he left his head.  These works can be custom designed as functioning chests, media cabinets, bookcases, and, of course, works of art for your home.

For the young at heart, custom furniture makers can create whimsical yet functional furniture sculptures that will bring a sense of life and motion to any room.  Be our guest and enjoy these diverse works from the CustomMade galleries that seem poised to walk, sidle, dance, or crawl across the floor (or other surface).

Chairs have arms that can be brought to life, too, in custom designed anthropomorphic furniture.  This sculpted chair by Chrysalis Woodworks has carved hands depicting the gestures of classical Indian dancing and carved feet painted with traditional costuming and decorated with real ankle bells.
